About me

Finding the right counsellor is an important step, the fact that you are here means that you have already made the biggest step in recognising you would like some support.

Counselling is a safe space to offload and explore what's going on for you. Counselling is not about me giving you advice. However, I will advise you on how to utilise coping techniques and strategies to support you, to find your own way forward.

I will provide with you my time, commitment and compassion to your needs in a safe and comfortable environment. In working together, this may ease your distress and worries, by breaking things down into sizeable chunks. Counselling includes exploring the past (if relevant) or recognising where depressed feelings maybe coming from, understanding what this means for you in the here and now and evaluate what you need in the present and future and, consider any blocks to these feelings/emotions or anxieties.

I work with adults aged 18+ - individuals and couples. Please note: I do not work with children and young people.
